Mr. Speaker, nobody on this side has ever argued about the importance and value of water. In fact we have debated it many times in the House.
The question is what is the most effective way of managing the issue. As a result, we have undertaken very extensive discussions with the provinces and our North American partners to ensure that we can have a system that protects Canadian waters. When that agreement is developed, when we come up with a proper arrangement that we can say is a way of effectively managing water resources, we will tell the House and I am sure the hon. member will be happy to support it.
